Catching up with the Longhorns

The fall exhibition season continues tonight with Alvin Community College and McLennan Community College coming to Austin to try to upset the Longhorns at Red and Charline McCombs Field.

Texas is undefeated in its first three games of the fall season as the Longhorns still look to fill the empty positions of pitchers Brittany Barnhill and Torrey Schroeder, who both transferred to other schools.

Head coach Connie Clark has tested out freshmen Kim Bruins and Blaire Luna as well as returning players Courtney Craig and Erin Tresselt, who both saw time in the circle last season.

The biggest adjustment this year will come from junior catcher Amy Hooks, who caught every game last year — the majority of which were pitched by either Barnhill or Schroeder.

Hooks is one of the rare catchers who actually calls the pitches, and if Clark intends to let her call the game this season, there will be plenty for her to learn.

Admission is free to the softball games, which are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.
